Eyebrow Transplants in London & Manchester
An eyebrow transplant rebuilds brows that are overplucked, patchy or thinning, using your own hair placed one graft at a time. It is the finest work in hair transplantation: every graft holds a single hair, set at the almost flat angle brow hair grows, and it is carried out in a day under local anaesthetic at clinics in London and Manchester, for a fixed price of £2,899.

What Is an Eyebrow Transplant?
An eyebrow transplant is an FUE hair transplant applied to the brows. Follicular units are taken from the permanent donor hair at the back of the head, usually where the hair is finest, and placed into the brow line one at a time. Once grown in, the hair is yours for good: it grows, and you shape it.
Eyebrow implants, brow transplants, eyebrow restoration and eyebrow replacement are all names for the same procedure. Nothing artificial is involved: every graft is a single living hair of your own.
Both women and men have eyebrow transplants. For women the usual reason is brows that never recovered from plucking or waxing; for men it is more often patchy growth, a scar, or brows thinning with age.
Who Eyebrow Transplants Are For
Years of plucking or waxing can stop follicles regrowing permanently, and brows over-thinned decades ago often never come back. A transplant is the reliable fix, because it replaces the follicles rather than waiting for them.
It also suits naturally thin or patchy brows, brows thinning with age, scars from cuts or previous procedures, and damage left by repeated microblading or tattooing, which can scar the follicles beneath.
One caution first: if your brow loss appeared suddenly, in smooth patches, or alongside other hair loss, it needs a diagnosis before it needs a transplant. Our eyebrow hair loss guide covers the causes and which of them need treatment instead.
If it is beard, moustache or sideburn work you are considering, that is covered on our facial hair transplant page.
How an Eyebrow Transplant Works
The procedure takes a single day under local anaesthetic, and you are awake throughout. It begins with the design: the shape, the arch and the symmetry are drawn on and agreed with you before a single graft is placed, because the brow line defines the face more than any other feature of its size.
Only single-hair grafts are used, and each one is placed at an angle almost flat to the skin, matching how brow hair naturally lies. The direction changes along the brow: hairs at the inner end point upward, then lie progressively flatter and follow the brow line out through the arch and tail. Getting that pattern right, one hair at a time, is what makes a transplanted brow read as a brow.

How Many Grafts Does an Eyebrow Transplant Take?
Typically between 100 and 400 grafts per brow. Thickening an existing brow sits at the lower end of that range; rebuilding a brow in full sits at the top, and published case series average around 300 grafts per brow for full restoration.
Every row of the table costs the same, because the price is set by the placement rather than the count.
The small numbers are deceptive. Because every graft is a single hair placed at an exact angle and direction, the surgical time is driven by precision rather than volume. An eyebrow session is measured in hours of placement, not in graft counts.
What Your Brows Need | Typical Grafts per Brow | Price |
|---|---|---|
Thickening thin brows | 100-200 | £2,899 |
Rebuilding overplucked brows | 200-300 | £2,899 |
Full reconstruction | 300-400 | £2,899 |
Trimming, Texture and the Long Term
Transplanted brow hair keeps the habits of the hair it came from: it grows continuously, like the hair on your head. That means trimming it every week or two becomes part of your routine, permanently.
Many patients find the hair settles and behaves more like brow hair over time, but the trimming does not stop, and it is better to know that before surgery than after.
The texture can also differ slightly from original brow hair, which is one of the reasons the donor hair is chosen from the finest available area. These are the honest trade-offs of a procedure that is otherwise permanent, natural and yours.
Recovery and the Growth Timeline
For the first week or so each graft carries a tiny scab, with some redness in the brow line, and this clears over the first seven to ten days. Most people are comfortable being seen within a few days.
From around week two to week eight the transplanted hairs shed, which is normal rather than the grafts failing: the follicles stay in place, new growth begins at around three months, and the final result settles between nine and twelve months.
What It Costs
An eyebrow transplant costs £2,899 at My Hair UK. That is a fixed price agreed before surgery, whether you are thickening both brows or rebuilding them in full, and nothing is added on the day.
The graft numbers are small, but the price reflects the work rather than the count. This is the most delicate procedure in hair transplantation: the precise angle and position of every single hair makes a considerable difference to how the finished brow looks, so the surgical day is set by planning and placement rather than volume. That is why a procedure of a few hundred grafts is priced alongside far larger scalp work.
It is also priced with the honest picture attached: even with the finest donor hair selected, a transplanted brow needs trimming for life, and that is part of the consultation conversation rather than a surprise afterwards.
The price includes the consultation, the surgery under local anaesthetic, your post-operative medication and aftercare kit, and in-person follow-ups afterwards, with no consultation fee. Consultations are free at either clinic, with the surgeon who would carry out your procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much does an eyebrow transplant cost in the UK?
A: £2,899 at My Hair UK, as a fixed price agreed before surgery. The graft numbers are small but the placement is the most delicate in hair transplantation, so the price reflects the planning and precision rather than the graft count.
Q: Is an eyebrow transplant permanent?
A: Yes. The grafts come from the permanent donor hair at the back of the head, and they keep that permanence in the brow. The transplanted hairs grow for life.
Q: Do you have to trim transplanted eyebrows?
A: Yes, permanently. The hair keeps the growth habit of scalp hair, so it grows continuously and needs trimming every week or two. Many patients find it settles over time, but the trimming does not stop.
Q: How many grafts does an eyebrow transplant take?
A: Typically 100 to 400 single-hair grafts per brow. Thickening an existing brow sits at the lower end; full reconstruction averages around 300 grafts per brow in published case series.
Q: Can a transplant fix overplucked eyebrows?
A: Yes, and it is the most common reason women have one. Years of plucking or waxing can stop follicles regrowing permanently, and a transplant replaces those follicles with your own hair.
Q: Is an eyebrow transplant better than microblading?
A: They are different things. Microblading is a semi-permanent tattoo that fades and needs redoing, and repeated sessions can scar the skin. A transplant is real, growing hair and is permanent. Which is right depends on whether you want the look of hair or the hair itself.
Q: How long until an eyebrow transplant looks right?
A: Scabbing clears within seven to ten days, the transplanted hairs shed between weeks two and eight, regrowth begins at around three months, and the final result settles between nine and twelve months.
Q: Does an eyebrow transplant hurt?
A: It is done under local anaesthetic, and most patients find the numbing injections the only uncomfortable part. The brow area can feel tender for a few days afterwards.
